Newly Acquired Greer Signs Three-Year Contract with Rock

from press release

TORONTO – The Toronto Rock have agreed to
terms on a 3-year contract with defenceman Bill Greer. Greer was
recently acquired from the Edmonton Rush in exchange for two 2nd
round selections in the 2012 NLL Entry Draft.

The Rock defensive corps will have a distinctly different look
when the defending champions hit the floor in January to begin the
regular season. Jeff Gilbert, Kyle Ross and Creighton Reid were all
in the lineup when the Rock defeated the Washington Stealth to win
the Champion's Cup. Since then, those three members of the title
team were each traded away in separate deals. The Rock have since
acquired veteran defender Bruce Codd via free agency in addition to
Greer. The Rock will also benefit from the return of Ryan Sharp and
Drew Petkoff who each had significant knee injuries cut their
respective 2011 campaigns short.

The 30-year old Greer is a veteran of 10 NLL seasons having
played with Columbus, Arizona, Rochester, New York, Orlando and
most recently Edmonton where he spent the 2011 season. In 133
career games, he has scored 51 goals and added 84 assists for 135
points. Greer's best offensive season came in 2003 with Columbus
when he tallied 10 goals, 14 assists and 24 points.

Toronto Rock training camp begins on Saturday, November 26th in
Six Nations at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The Rock will open the
2012 NLL regular season on Sunday, January 8th at Air Canada Centre
against the Calgary Roughnecks.
